SBI Remit and Tottori Bank are launching international money transfer services on April 20, extending what XRP-focused observers describe as Ripple\u2019s bank-linked remittance footprint in Japan. The partnership marks the 26th collaboration between SBI Remit and a financial institution, with Ripple\u2019s distributed ledger technology again referenced as part of the service stack.<\/p>\n

The Ripple angle was pushed into focus by XRP community commentator Eri, who wrote on X: \u201cXRP Scoop: Tottori Bank & SBI Remit start international money transfer services, April 20. This marks the 26th Bank|FI SBI Remit partner, which actively uses Ripple\u2019s DLT for low-cost, 24\/7 remittances. Where XRP liquidity is ample, XRP can serve as an optional bridge<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ripple Remittance Network In Japan Expands To 26 Banks<\/h2>\n

That framing goes somewhat further than SBI Remit\u2019s own press release<\/a>, which highlights Ripple\u2019s technology directly but does not explicitly say XRP will be used in this rollout. Still, the company did state that, since its founding in 2010, it has \u201cactively incorporates the latest financial technologies, such as Ripple\u2019s distributed ledger technology\u201d as part of its effort to offer secure, low-cost and fast international remittances.<\/p>\n

In practical terms, the new partnership is aimed at a growing foreign workforce in Tottori Prefecture and the financial institutions serving it. SBI Remit said both the number of foreign workers and the number of businesses employing them have risen to record highs in the prefecture, making access to reliable cross-border payments more important for workers sending money home and for local employers trying to support them.<\/p>\n

The company described a market that increasingly demands speed, convenience and always-on access. \u201cForeign customers now require services that are fast, low-cost, available 24\/7, and can be initiated via apps, as well as services that support diversified receiving methods, such as the expansion of e-wallets in the recipient country,\u201d SBI Remit said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, with the increase in foreign workers, regional financial institutions are facing increased requests from companies to open salary deposit accounts. Furthermore, after providing accounts, they are required to handle new customer management tasks, including residence permit expiration dates and return information.\u201d<\/p>\n

That helps explain why Ripple-linked infrastructure keeps appearing through SBI-affiliated channels<\/a> in Japan: the pitch is less about crypto branding than about solving remittance and compliance bottlenecks for banks and end users. SBI Remit said it now offers an integrated service combining \u201cremittances to hometown\u201d and \u201csalary deposit accounts\u201d for foreign residents, backed by multilingual support in 12 languages.<\/p>\n

Eri also suggested the Tottori deal fits a broader regional-bank strategy inside Japan. Replying to another X user, she wrote in full: \u201cNo doubt. Japan has 200+ banks, which include foreign banks, trusts, and various tiers of regional banks. The 3 mega banks and Japan Post dominate. Mr. Kitao\u00a0<\/a>has been focused on bringing the regional banks into the fold. I also think you\u2019ll see expansion into S. Korea with the same technology via SBI initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

At press time, XRP traded at $1.42.<\/p>\n
